HI, i'm trying to make a project witch envolved controling Arduino wirelessly from a station place with a PC, i've the arduino mega 2560 with will be "moblie" and i'll put a simple module(http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-NRF24L01-2-4GHz-Antenna-Wireless-Transceiver-Module-For-Microcontr-/251044600998?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a736c9ca6) and for the pc i'm thinking to put the larger version with the amplifier. I know i can put the module diretly to Arduino and use 3.3v Regulator, Now for the PC i'm thinking use the board above (http://www.ebay.com/itm/STC15F204-NRF24L01-interface-Wireless-driver-Board-Wireless-Development-Board-/181051362897?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a27808e51) and using a USB to TTL to conect to the usb port(http://www.ebay.com/itm/PL2303HX-USB-To-RS232-TTL-Auto-Converter-Adapter-controller-Module-for-arduino-/400565253775?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d438cb68f). Now anyone know some software to PC station to be able to communicate to the Arduino Mega Wirelessly???

Thanks

This product might cater to your needs, it is a nRF24L01+ compatible radio with example windows software under the download tab...

The RF2423U is an upgrade of the RF2410U ( U = USB interface )

See the below as an old example, 2 nRF and 1 PC running the nRF with USB interface with window s/w on the PC...

thanks for you reply :slight_smile:

what is the range of this thing, i saw one very similar on ebay, it was full duplex but as only 60 meters of range, the nrf24l01 with the sma antenna and the amplifier as about 1 km, the advantage is only half duplex but it ok for me.
